German journalist Adrian Lobe published the other day in Der Standard Alert Warning For All Western Countries, In which reports that Russia has the means capable of Locally distort the operation of the global GPS navigation system.
The most striking example of the use of such ultra-modern weapons, writes the journalist, was the June incident in the Black Sea when American ships near Russian borders, all of a sudden found that the GPS readings on their devices do not match the real state of affairs. So, one of the ships, judging by the data GPS-navigators, was not at sea, but somewhere in the Russian the city of Gelendzhik, and other ships suddenly “ended up on land”, which simply could not be.
However, checking the devices showed that they are working properly, it turns out that the failure did not occur on the ships, but outside them, that is someone or something distorted the signals themselves coming from the cosmic satellites.
German journalist recalled that this is not the first time oddities in the work of GPS, which can be associated with Russia, so, in last year, motorists of Moscow, not far from the Kremlin, suddenly found that they can’t get the coordinates on the system navigation. Then the Russian expert in the IT field Grigory Bakunov suggested that the Kremlin itself has an interference generator for GPS signal. What if at that time it was only the first test new cyber weapons, and in June this year on American ships have already applied a more global impact of the new device, capable of distorting GPS data?
Due to this, Russia can interfere with all enemy drones, planes and ships, manipulate to the same high-frequency trading on the futures exchange and so on, that is, to disorganize the work of any systems that use GPS positioning.
Adrian Lobe’s article was more like a cry for help because strong evidence that Russia has applied such ultramodern weapon, especially – possesses it, the German the journalist did not bring …

We’ll clarify that Russia’s suspicion of cyber weapons, capable of distorting GPS data, has now arisen in the leadership of the Navy United States, all of which took an operational pause of 48 hours in due to the fact that their two destroyers in recent days committed collisions with a tanker and a merchant ship, which is simply unthinkable in terms of common sense …
